Chi O takes on Pumpkin Festival!

In the spirit of Halloween, a group of about 20 Chi O’s volunteered to work at the Salem Pumpkin Festival this past Saturday. We met at the house early that morning and all carpooled the thirty minutes or so to Salem. When we arrived we began to set up. There were many fun activities going on all around the festival, but we set up the face painting and pumpkin painting tables! These were very popular among all the kids, and even some adults there!

The kids were given mini pumpkins and came over to paint anything their little hearts desired on them. This was so fun for all the sisters, because the kids were so full of energy and let us even help! The face painting was an intense job for the sisters involved, but every kid left our table with a smile on their face! All the kids that we met were so great and look so adorable in their costumes! It was such a fun filled afternoon, with everything from the painting to the dancing and costumes contests at the festival. We were happy to volunteer at this festival, and had yet another great sisterhood adventure! 

Despite the cold weather, we all had
enjoyed the time with our sisters and the kids!!
